COMMENTS: Back wrapper: "Bruno Salvador, known as Salvo, is the ever- innocent, twenty-nine-year-old orphaned sone of a Catholic Irish missionary and a Congolese headman's daughter. Educated first at mission school in the East Congolese province of Kivu, and later at a discreet sanctuary for the secret sons of Rome, Salvo is inspired to train as a professional interpreter in the minority African languages of which he has been an obsessive collector. He is courted by City corporations, the Immigration services and - inevitably - the mushrooming overworld of British Intelligence. He is also courted - and won - by the all-white, Surrey-born Penelope, whom he promptly marries. Yet even as the story opens, a contrary and irresistible love is dawning in him Despatched to a no-name island in the North Sea to attend a top-secret meeting between Western financiers and East Congolese warlords, Salvo is obliged to interpret matters never intended for his re-awoken African conscience ".
